🌀 Springs & Webbing – The Foundation of Upholstery

Springs and webbing are a hugely important part of the upholstery process. Beneath the comfort of foam or traditional fillings, every sofa relies on a support system – and the choice of springs, webbing and fittings makes all the difference to comfort, durability and longevity.

At Foam4U we supply a complete range of upholstery springs, webbing and accessories:

🪑 Upholstery Springs

  • Cone Springs – Installed using the traditional 8-way hand-tied method, available in a choice of wire gauges.

  • Pre-Made Spring Units & Mesh Top Units – Save time with ready-built systems, strong, supportive and easy to fit.

  • Zigzag / Serpentine / D’Arc Springs – The modern standard, quick to install, fitted under tension for a supportive arc with a touch of bounce.

  • Superloop Springs – Designed for backrests, creating a softer, springier feel.

  • Tension Springs – Synonymous with Parker Knoll, available in two gauges, with or without protective rubber sleeves.

  • Back Tension Springs – Specially made for extra support in chair and sofa backs.

🟢 Upholstery Webbing

  • Elasticated Webbing – Premium European-made, in 5cm or 7cm widths. Choose:
     • 50% stretch – the “go-to” for seat bases
     • 10% stretch – for firm seating
     • 100% stretch – ideal for flexible backs

  • Polypropylene Webbing – Rigid, durable and suited to arms and backs.

  • Jute / Black & White Webbing – Available in standard or British-woven quality. Commonly used with cone springs to create strong, traditional bases.

  • Rubber Webbing – Best known from Ercol furniture but versatile enough for many styles.

🔧 Clips, Brace-wire & Fixings

  • Spring Clips & Plates – For securing zigzag and tension springs.

  • Brace-wire & Paper-Wrapped Stake-wire – To stabilise and tie springs neatly.

  • Webbing & Pirelli Clips – To anchor elasticated and rubber webbing.

  • Hooks & Tension Spring Fixings – For quick, reliable installation.

  • Nails & Staples (Clout Nails, etc.) – Essential fixings for professional upholstery.

✅ Whether you’re restoring a Parker Knoll chair, crafting a brand-new sofa, or repairing everyday seating, our springs, webbing and fixings give upholsterers and DIY makers the strength, comfort and reliability they need.
